It is at least very easy to repair. The main PCB is the hardest job but even that is clip in and out still, it just has a lot of wires so you have to make sure to know which goes where.

They got back to me over the weekend with the instructions sheet. Thank you though!
Just waiting on my amazon order of screwdrivers to arrive and then I'm going to try repairing today.

Replaced both boards they sent me. Wheel is not spinning. Going to reopen it and double check everything, but also just check around the rest of the machine for damage or something looking odd.

Went back in. Checked both boards and the motor and redid all the connections one more time as well as hitting a lot of the spots with a compressed air gun.
and its strangely super quiet. no more high pitched squeals.

Maybe they should just sell this thing as a kit. Lol

And...it's working again. Happy me. I know I and many others have said it - but it's remarkably easy to fix. As it turned out I hadn't ever replaced the side PCB (which includes the on/off switch, drying for I or II, and power cable connector) but it was a doddle. 
it lasts a decent amount of time...

G-Sonic for me
G•Sonic Ultrasonic Concentrate
Putting the “Ultra” in ultrasonic record cleaning! G-Sonic is the additive your ultrasonic machine needs. G-Sonic reduces the water’s surface tension so the cavitation can reach the bottom of the microgroove. This listing includes: G-Sonic Ultrasonic Additive with bulb dropper. (1 oz/30 mL)...

I didn't believe it at first, but glad I took everyone's advice and only ordered the small bottle too. Damn stuff will last forever.G-Sonic for me

Mine stopped being squeaky too after changing the PCB!
